[QUOTE="_CY_, post: 1064404, member: 7629"] have never heard of ammo restriction with a titanium cylinder. correct me if I'm wrong... ti is structurally stronger than stainless. which model was it?... [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensile_strength[/url] you don't have to baby titanium for cleaning. titanium is all but inert main drawback to titanium is high cost ...special procedure for machining/fabrication in an inert atmosphere. ever try to drill titanium? if you overheat bit, ti will harden like armour plate. talked to the folks at S&W about my 340PD and 337PD.... they told me to be careful with what solvents to clean the ti cylinder. what a crock! what they probably were doing is trying to protect the aluminum frame. which you do need to be careful of you could dip a S&W airweight with titanium cylinder into a vat of acid. the entire gun would meld, but titanium cylinder would be fine.
